chop house; (useless) study break update

There are not enough hours in the morning. My best study times are in the morning at Runk (but only during weekdays though, brunch times in the weekends are madhouse), perched on one of the hard benches by the giant windows, where the sunlight streams freely in. And I get unlimited access to coffee/green tea/water!!  ...ignoring weird stares from the (kinda cute) guy at the entrance for running to the bathroom every freaking half hour....

And the occasional introduction to a new catchy tune, thanks to the radio station they play.
Although today they played 'Baby Got Back'... you know, that song that goes "I like big butts and I cannot lie..."

Stuff sprawled everywhere. Rainy day...

Yeah. Come to think of it. I spend at least two and a half hours in Runk every single weekday.

My favorite tea: green with lemongrass hints.

By the way! College food just got so much better. Apparently Virginia Tech has the second best dining hall food in the nation.

I guess UVa wants to match up with them Hokies, huh.

Slew of veggie mush

To be fancier, Runk and O'Hill introduced this new thing called 'The Chop House' which features steaks, salmon, and other (steakhouse-like) stuff for an extra 5 bucks (with a meal swipe), which in real life is daylight robbery, but since you already paid for the meal plan and you're stuck with a ton of plus dollars that you would have otherwise spent on (WAY) overpriced gum, cereal (a box of cheerios for SEVEN BUCKS what is this), and Pepperidge Farm Pirouettes (only for my sister Rachel), all these seem like great deals.

Side note: I chew so much gum, I've developed solid cheek muscles, NO JOKE.

Mmmm New York strip steak with
a (clean) baked sweet potato and a vegetable medley

YUMMM.... 

I love the freaking sweet potato.

Albert: *disdainful* Oh my gosh, (ew) you're so spoiled....

Lauren after her run :)
Salmon, wild rice, and... cottage cheese...

Filet mignon, medium rare. Yeah, we're pretty (very) spoiled.
Don't think I've ever had filet mignon before this...

Me: Filet Mignon! Jinggggg borrow phone I forgot my cameraaaa!!!! :D

Jing Yong: Omg. Just. Eat. The. Freaking, Meat... *fishes out iPhone from pocket*

I don't get this that often by the way. They're only open for dinners, so I'm stuck with the veggie mush.

After MSE today, I was so angry. I'm telling myself, I'll never do this again.
I'm gonna push forward.
